For my final project I want to cover two charter schools Hope Charter(http://www.hopecschool.org/) and Arise Academy(http://ariseacademychs.org/). Both these schools cater to students in foster care and with behavioral issues. Both these schools have also been recommended for closure and on April 19th the the SRC will vote whether to keep them open or not. I want to discover what these schools are really about and document their struggle to stay open in the face of budget cuts.
